Yet this land will raise anything that Is grown in Idaho, Ore gon or Montana. Most of the half- breeds and natives lire on fish and the majority of them are too lazy to even cook the fish before eating.. They place them In the sun for a few days and then have a feast. Tou may doubt this,1 but," nevertheless, it remains true. :'-. ' This is the first year since the ad-. vent of the. white man to this country that wells have been put down to sand where good water can be had. , A well boring outft reached this town about days ago, and the owner has. put down several wells that average about 45 feet In depth. He charges 50 cents per foot for dry holes and $1.25 for wet ones, but water must be from sand or gravel. Before the advent of this fel low's coming, people contented them selves with surface water, which can reached at from 10 to 20 feet, but the water from such wella has an amhnr color, whlln others has the rnlor of ereen tea. the taste of the enter varvinar considerable In such wells. , The whole of northern Alberta is a flat country and the eame is true of the northeastern portion or Bruisn Columbia, where the Peace and Pine rivers flows, yet the upper waters of these rivers ar In the mountains.

The wonder ful waterways, the glaciers, the cloud kissed mountain peaks anu rocK walled lakes are scenes that hang like a beautiful picture forever on mem oir's walls. When one parts from these scenic places, it is like leaving an old friend or a cherished relative that you long to meet again.' - The entire coast and well back from the tame la a wilderness of beauty. The Alps In Switzerland, when com pared to this country, would look like 30 cents, twice spent I dare not start a description or the letter would be too long for the mails. In my humble opinion, though, North and South America has Europe beat to a frazzle on scenlcs of any kind. It Is true, Europe has a few old ruins, but noth Ing to compare with the Inca temples of Peru, Bolivia and Euador. As for the United Stated, visit the Brand can yon, the HopI country and many places of Arizona, and one will be thoroughly convinced that the so-called old coun try Is not the only thing with signs of old age. .
